REPORT. 



The task of compiling a complete and accurate account of the 
Soldiers of Danvers, is an impossible one, but careful and effective 
work has been attempted by your committee in the hope that their 
report will be received as a fair testimonial of their services, and 
as a lasting memorial to the brave men who have claimed Danvers 
as their home. 

That two years should be needed to prepare a report such as 
this is, is not to be wondered at, when it is considered that nearly 
if not quite one thousand letters of varying character have been 
mailed, that but a very small percentage of the persons addressed 
have paid any attention to the questions of the committee, and, 
that in the records of the State and National Departments exist er- 
rors innumerable. 

The records of the town have been carefully consulted for in- 
formation leading to any suggestions of error on the records of the 
adjutant-general's department* at the State House, and whenever 
such have been found, from any source, that department has will- 
ingly and promptly requested ififormation from Washington, which 
has as promptly been supplied. By these means many errors and 
omissions have been corrected at both those offices. That mistakes 
should have occurred was unavoidable. It is strange that they 
were not found in greatei' number. That there are numerous in- 
stances in the report we make to you is probable. Cases will be 
found where men were credited to towns entirely without their 
knowledge, and so erroneous is the record of bounties that the com- 
mittee have omitted that item entirely in the printed report, but 
the amounts cau be examined by any proper person, in the origi- 
nal manuscript. 



*Thanks are especially due to Mr. .John Baker of that department, whose ac- 
quaintance with the various records in his charge is remarkable. 



VI 



The greater part of the expense contracted by your committee is, 
of course, accounted for by this report, and we pride ourselves that 
it has been so slight, considering the variety, remoteness and mis- 
cellaneous character of the records consulted. 

The committee has held twelve regular meetings at each of which 
except upon rare occasions, all of the meml)ers have been present. 
Several informal gatherings of the committee have been held, and 
throughout our existence as a committee the utmost harmony and 
combined effort has prevailed. The greater part of the labor of pre- 
paring the record has fallen upon the chairman, who from his profes- 
sion and knowledge of the sources of information was selected to 
collect and arrange the material, which, however, has been carefully 
inspected in detail by the several members of the committee. 

It was thought best to add as an appendix some account of the 
soldiers of Danvers in other than our late war*, and we have en- 
deavored to present a record of our men in the Indian and French 
wars, the Revolution, the War of 1812, Mexican war, and some 
account of our early and present militia organizations. 

A feature of this report is the preservation of the family records 
of our soldiers. Here we may have made some errors and crave 
your indulgence, but that in the generations to come, the same 
honor and veneration will be paid to the men of 1861 as is now 
paid to the heroes of 1775 is undoubted, and our descendants and 
successors will thank us for placing on record some account, how- 
ever fragmentary, of the families and lives of the soldiers. 

It is earnestly hoped that every person having knowledge of any 



*The number of enlistments in the Union Army was 666, of whom 552 were 
native boi-n. The places of nativity of the men as far as can he ascertained are as 
follows: Danvers, 125, of whom four were of Irish parentage; other towns in 
Essex, 98, of whom one was of Irish parentage; other places in Massachusetts, 
89, of whom three were of German parentage; New Hampshire, 48; Maine, 45; 
United States, 202, of whom eight were negroes, and thirty-iive of Irish parent- 
age (probably many in this division are Danvers born); Canada, 80, of whom 
twenty-seven came from the Maritime provinces; England, 15; Scotland, 13; 
Ireland, 47 ; Germany 9. 

There were at least thirty-seven Danvers men in the naval service, and forty- 
nine additional records are appended, of men who have lived or died "in 
Danvers. Thus the records of 796 separate individuals, who served in the Rebel- 
lion are printed. 

We have gathered information relating to 139 French war soldiers in addi- 
tion to the names given in the historical sketch; and some 300 Revolutionary 
soldiers in addition to an e(iual number of Lexington Alarm men. Mention will 
also be found of others who were probably in the service for longer or shorter 
periods. 

Over 1800 names of soldiers or sailors born or resident at some period in 
Danvers are printed in this report. 



KRI'OBT. Vll 

soldier born in or credited to Danvers will inspect this report, 
will note the various records, and send to your committee, or to 
the town clerk, all corrections and omissions, however gross or 
slight, that, as nearly as possible, a correct record may in time be 
obtained by the town. 

We cordially extend t(j all ot" the many persons who iiave con- 
tributed aid and information, our grateful acknowledgments; to 
the great interest exhibited by a few, is, indeed, due the accom- 
plishment of our task. 

Danvers has had in the past a great history and lias given birth 
to a race of warriors. She has had no occasion to be ashamed of 
her men ; an intensely military and patriotic spirit has always in- 
fluenced her citizens, as the record will show. It behooves us to 
place upon record both in print, and on stone and brass, memorials 
to those of her citizens who have fought for and guarded the na- 
tion. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Eben Putnam, 
Walter S. Lovejoy, 
John W. Porter,

*In reply to a letter sent out by the Adjutant General, dated 9 Dec., 
1865, seeking information as to the character and behaviour of dis- 
charged soldiers, etc., the following answer was returned from Danvers. 

" The soldiers who have enlisted from this town have, on the whole, 
come back better mea than when they entered the service. Up to 
this time none have been convicted of crime, and those who, before en- 
tering the army, were addicted to intoxication have some of them re- 
formed, and almost all drink less. So far as we know they have gone 
to work immediately, and no families are in better circumstances than 
those of the soldiers." 

(Signed) J. A. Putnam, for the Selectmen. 



Brief Historical Sketches of Organizations of which 
Danvers Men Formed a Part. 

1st Regiment Infantuy. 

Composed chiefly of the 1st Reg. M. V. M. and left camp the 15th 
of Juue, 1861 ; passed through Baltimore, the 17th of June and ar- 
rived at Washington the same day. 

It was engaged at Bull Run, the 21st of July, 1861 ; at Williamsburg, 
Fair Oaks, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Kettle Run, 2nd Bull Run, Chautilly 
and Fredericksburg, in 1862, and at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and 
Locust Grove, in 1863. In August, September and October it was on 
garrison duty in New York Harbor. Engaged in the Wilderness and 
Spottsylvania Court House in 1864. Mustered out the 28th of May, 1864. 

This regiment lost 171 men killed, and 643 discharged for disabil- 
ity. At Chancellorsville, Stonewall Jackson was killed by his own 
men while reconnoitring, but the 1st Mass. claimed that on that very 
day a part}' of rebel officers approached their lines so closely, thinking 
them rebels, and under the conditions described by Jackson's party 
that they were enabled to open fire at close range. They claimed that 
Jackson was wounded by that fire. 

This was the first three year volunteer regiment that reached Wash- 
ington. 

2nd Regiment Infantry. 

Mustered in the 11th of May, 1861, and left the state the 8th of 
July, 1861, and that year was engaged at Jackson, Va. In 1862 it 
was at Mont Royal, Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Antietam and 
Fredericksburg, and in 1863 at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and 
like the 1st was ordered to New York City for the suppression of the 
draft riots, in the late summer of 1863. In 1864 it was a part of 
Sherman's army in his march through Georgia. 

A great many of this regiment re-enlisted. Mustered out the 14th 
of July, 1865. Passed through Richmond the 11th of May, 1865, on 
the march home from the South, where they had taken part in Sher- 
man's campaign in the Carolinas. 

5th Regiment, M. V. M. 

It was out for three months in 1861, taking part in the Battle of Bull 
Run, and upon the call for troops for nine months, volunteered as an 
organization and went into camp at Wenham. In Oct., 1862, it was 
ordered to Newbern, N. C., where it took part in the various engage- 
ments, as Kingston, Whitehall, Goldsboro, and performed much ardu- 
ous service. 

July 28, 1864, the regiment was again mustered into the United 
States' service and left for Washington. During its first term of ser- 
vice. Col. Lawrence was in command. Col. Pierson, of Salem, was in 
command during the two later campaigns. Quite a large number of 
Danvers men went out in the first three month's campaign. 



82 BRIEF FtTSTORrCA.L SKEtCHES OF ORGANTZATTOlSrS, 

6th Regiment, M. V. M. 

This was the second regiment to leave the state on the call for 
troops, and in passing through Baltimoi'e on the 19th of April, was 
attacked by a mob. 

It was also out for nine months in 1862 and 1863 and stationed at 
Suffolk, Va., and again in 1864 for 100 days when it was stationed at 
Fort Delaware, Md. 

8th Regiment, M. V. M. 

This was one of the first regiments to respond to the call for troops 
in April, 18G1. The Salem Light Infantry left Salem in the morning 
of the 18th and under the command of Gen. Benj. F. Butler arrived at 
Annapolis on the 21st of April, where was lying the old frigate, Con- 
stitution, which was manned and carried to IS". Y. The regiment was 
on duty about Washington and Baltimore. 

In 1862 upon the call for nine mouths men, the Eighth responded 
and went into camp at Wenham, and in November sailed for ISTewbern, 
N. C, where the regiment was repeatedly called upon for sharp work in 
reconnoitring, etc., besides having many of its companies detached 
upon garrison duty. Leaving Newbern in June, they were detained at 
Baltimore and attached to the Army of the Potomac, but were finally 
mustered out Aug. 7, 1863. 

In 1864 they performed garrison duty at New Bedford. Co. K of 
this regiment, Capt. Albert G. Allen, was a Danvers company. 

9th Infantry.

arrived in Washington the 29th of June, 1861, and was engaged in 
the battles before Richmond, and in 1862 at Fredericksburg and in 
1863 at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Mine Run. During the win- 
ter of 1863-64 the regiment were looking after the rebel raiders, espec- 
ially Mosby and the Black Horse Cavalry. 

In 1864 it took part in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, 
Shady Oak, Cold Harbor, etc. Mustered out on the 21st of June,

tles before Richmond, and at Fredericksburg in 1862. In 1863 it took 
part in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and Rappahannock 
Station. In 1864 at the battle of the Wilderness, the regiment lost 
one third of its force in killed and wounded on the first day. During 
the succeeding engagements it was constantly in action. It was ordered 
home in June and mustered out on the 8th of July, 1864. Lost 110 
killed. 

11th Infantry. 

It was mustered in the 13th of June and left the state the 24th of 
June, 1861. It was at the battle of Bull Run, and in 1862 in the bat- 
tles before Richmond, second Bull Run and Fredericksburg. In 1863 
it was in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and Locust Grove. 



TOWN OF DANVERS. 83 

In 1864 it was in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania and 
North Anna. 

In June those whose term of service had expired, returned to Boston, 
and the remainder were strengthened by men from the 1st and KJth 
regiments. The regiment was engaged at Cold Harbor, Petersburg, 
and several other lesser battles. Discharged the 14th of July, 1865. 

12th Regiment. 

It was raised by Col. Fletcher Webster who fell in battle. It left 
the state the 23rd of July, 1861, and was engaged at the battles of Ce- 
dar Mountain, 2nd Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg in 1862, 
and at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg in 1863.

campaign the regiment numbered on duty but about 150 men. Dis- 
charged the 16th of July, 1864. 

17th Infantry. 

This regiment was recruited at Lynntield and was composed, with 
the exception of one company each from Suffolk and Middlesex, of 
Essex County men. Co. C was almost entirely composed of 
Dan vers men. Mustered in July 22, it left the state under the com- 
mand of Lt. Col. Fellows, 23 Aug., 1861, but was soon after joined by 
its colonel, Capt. Amory, U. S. A. 

Daring 1861 the regiment was stationed near Baltimore and in Ac- 
comac Co., Va., but in the spring of 1862 was ordered to Newbern, 
N. C, where it engaged in its first battle of consequence, viz., at 
Kinston and Goldsboro, behaving with great gallantry. 

At Goldsboro, Co. C, commanded by Capt. Fuller, did good work on 
the skirmish line. In the expedition to relieve Washington, N. C, the 
regiment had to retire with the loss of several men as it was impossible 
to face the great odds brought against them. The second attempt 
was successful. During the remainder of the year the regiment was 
constantly on the alert and took part in several small engagements. 
On Feb. 1, 1864, while su\)porting the 132d N. Y. Inf., near Bachel- 
der's Creek, Col. Fellows, with 7 officers and 58 men were captured. 

In July, Co. C was stationed at Brice's Creek. 

July 16, the men whose term expired July 21, embarked for home 
and the remainder of the regiment was consolidated into companies A, 
B, and C, under command of Capt. Henry Splaine. This battalion 
was mustered out 11 July, 1865. In Mar., 1865, 450 recruits from 
the 2d H. A. were transferred to the 17tb; 



84 RRTEF HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF ORGANIZATIONS,

of march for Raleigh taken up. The regiment reached home July 19, 
1865. 

23rd Infantry. 

It left the state, the 11th of Nov., 1861, and was encamped for a 
time at Annapolis, Md. In Jan., 1862, the regiment sailed for Roa- 
noke Island and took part under Burnside in his campaign. In March 
they landed at Newbern and took part in the operations about there in 
1862 and were in the battles of Kingston, Whitehall, Goldsboro, Wil- 
cox's Bridge and Winton in 1863. 

April 26fch, 1864, they embarked at Portsmouth for York river and 
joined Gen. Butler, but in May were detached to reen force the army 
of the Potomac and took part in the battles of Cold Harbor and Pe- 
tersburg. In September they embarked again for Newbern. Those 
whose terms expired were mustered out the 28th of Sept., 1864. The 
balance of re-enlisted men and recruits the 25th of June, 1865. 

The 23rd took an active part in the so-called second battle of Kings- 
ton, see the 17th Inf. 

There were quite a number of men from Danvers in the various com- 
panies of this Regiment. 

35th Infantry, 

Mustered into the service the 21st of Aug., 1862, and left the state the 
next day. This^regiment participated in the battles of Antietam, 
Fredericksburg, Jackson, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, 
Weldon R. R., South Mountain, Vicksburg, Petersburg, and many 
other engagements. 

The regiment had a large number of foreigners sent to it while in 
the field, which caused jealousy and some bad feeling. This feeling 
passed away in time and the report of the commanding officer is that 
these men behaved well. Mustered out the 9th of June, 1865. 

There was quite a large number of Danvers men in this regiment. 

14th Regiment Infantry afterwards 1st Heavy Artillery. 

This was organized almost entirely from Essex County and was fre- 
quently alluded to in '62 as the " Essex County Regiment." It was 
mustered in at Fort Warren the 5th of July, 1861 and on the 7th of 
August left for Washington. Co. I of this Regt. was a Danvers company. 

The regiment did garrison duty at Ft. Albany and Ft. Runyon, 
before Washington. On the 1st of Jan., 1862, by orders of the War 
Dept., the regiment was changed to 1st Mass. Heavy Artillery regiment 
and the additional men required to bring it »p to the standard immedi- 
ately sent forward. Until the 26th of Aug., the regiment did garrison 
duty in the forts before Washington but were on that day ordered to 
Manassas. 

On the 28th a number of the regiment were taken prisoners by the 
enemy, but paroled. During the remainder of the year and the next 
year the regiment was actively engaged in guarding the defenses before 
Washington, etc. In June, 1863, Co, L was ordered to Winchester

Plain, Deep Bottom and other engagements. Mustered out the 16th 
of Aug., 1865. I Company of this regiment were the Putnam Guards, 
a company almost entirely composed of Dan vers men. The company 
went into camp June 24, 1861, at Fort Warren. Judge A. A. Putnam 
of Uxbridge, has published an interesting and valuable account of the 
formation and early history of this organization of which he was the 
first commander. 

2nd Heavy Artillery. 

The companies composing this regiment were mustered in at various 
dates between Sept , 1863 and Jan., 1864. During its term of service 
the regiment was stationed in North Carolina, Newbern, etc., and Vir- 
ginia, and the greater part of the regiment was never engaged in bat- 
tle. 

Companies G and H, about 275 men, were captured at Plymouth, 
N. C, and were confined in Andersonville. But thirty-five rejoined the 
regiment. Mustered out the 3rd of Sept., 1865.

time were on duty in the coast defenses of this state, but in the fall of 
1864 were sent on to Washington and remained on duty in the de- 
fences of that city. They were mustered out the 18th of Sept., 1865. 

The 13th Co. Unattached Heavy Artillery, Co. L of the 3rd Reg.

The Monument erected to the Soldiers and SailoRs 
IN the Last War. 

In 1868 steps were taken to arrange for the erection of a monu- 
ment with tablets inscribed with the names of the soldiers and 
sailors of Danvers who fell in the war. After various votes in the 
two annual town meetings following, it was finally decided in July, 
1870, to erect the monument in front of the town house. 

The cost was $(3,298.20 of which sum Hon. Edwin Mudge con- 
tributed the larger part of his two years salary as representative to 
the General Court. 

The monument was dedicated 30 Nov., 1870. It is of Hallowell 
granite, thirty-three and one quarter feet high. The following 
names are inscribed upon the tablets ; 

Major, Wallace A. Putnam. Lieutenant, James Hill.

APPENDIX. 



Early Military Organizations and Service. 



Danvers as a separate district dates only from 1752, but the ter- 
ritory now embraced within its limits and mucli of the towns of 
Feabody and Beverly, was early designated as Salem Farms and 
later as Salem Village, although that part of the present town 
wherein the first substantial improvements were begun by John 
Endicott in 1633, was not a portion of Salem Village, but of the 
old parish in Salem. 

The earliest settlers in* Danvers may be presumed to be Richard 
Waterman, a hunter, and a certain " Mr." Freeman, both of whose 
estates were soon afterward incorporated in the estate of John 
Putnam. Waterman came over in 1629 as a hunter ; of Freeman 
very little is known except that he was a very early settler near 
Beaver Brook. Waterman's land was near Davenport's Hill. 

John Endicott was the first to improve a farm in the present 
limits of the town. He set to work as early as 1633 to clear the 
" Orchard Farm," granted him in the preceding year. From that 
time on the grants in the " Farms " are of frequent occurrence and 
were immediately occupied by the more energetic. Thus John 
Putnam, first on the Plains, and then at Beaver Brook, and Daniel 
Rea and others, Davenport, Gardner and Reed, noted military 
leaders of their day, found Danvers a promising field for farming 
operations and lived here a great part of their time. 

So rapid was the settlement and opening up of roads and the coun- 
try that soon demands were made by the settlers for a separate parish, 
which question was continually agitated till settled favorably in 1672. 

In the early Indian wars, men were diawn from this district to 
an extent which shows a considerable population of a military spirit. 
The General Court ordered, in April, 1631, that every captain 
should train his company on Saturday in every week, and various 
precautions were taken that the colonists should not expose them- 
selves to the danger of attack by Indians. In November, 1632, 
monthly training days were appointed, but, five years later, eight 
trainings a year were considered sufficient. 

In 1636, 13 Dec, the military companies were divided into three 
regiments of which the third was composed of the men of Saugus 
(now Lynn), Salem, Ipswich and Newbury, of which John Endicott 
was appointed colonel and John Winthrop, jr., lieutenant colonel 
It was also ordered that in the future each regiment should each 
year elect a colonel and lieutenant colonel, and that the several 
towns should each choose for the positions of captains and lieuten- 
ants of the several companies, some principal man, all whom were 
subject to confirmation by the council. 



92 EARLY MILITARY- ORGAIOZATIONS, 

Capt. (William) Trask was appointed muster master for the 
East or Essex Regiment. It was during the year 1634, at one of 
the trainings, that the cross in the colors was cut out. In this 
were concerned Davenport and Endicott. The colors at that peri- 
od consisted of a green field with a white union having upon it the 
red cross of England. On the 25 Aug., 1636, ninety volunteers 
agreed to go against the Pequots. They were divided into four 
companies, one of which was commanded by Ensign Davenport and 
the whole commanded by Endicott. The results of this expedityDn 
were the destruction of much corn and property of the Indians and 
the loss of two soldiers, killed. They returned about the 14th of 
September, 

The following year the military company at Salem was officered 
by Capt. William Trask, Lieut. Richard Davenport, and Ensign 
Thomas Beede ; and Trask and Davenport, with Salem's quota of 
28 men for the Pequot war, joined the Massachusetts force under 
Stoughton. The expedition returned Aug. 26, having lost none 
killed, although having had a severe encounter with the Indians in 
a swamp at Fairtield. After that there were no affairs of conse- 
quence to call for military action till the breaking out of the ter- 
rible war known as King Philip's War, although on the 20th Aug., 
1664,* 200 volunteers were called for to serve against the Dutch, 
and again 10 Dec, 1673, a levy from each county was made, and 
ordered to hold themselves in readiness to serve against the Dutch. 
The fort at Salem was put in a state of repair. The quota of Es- 
sex was 100 foot soldiers and thirty troopers, all of which were to 
be commanded by Daniel Dennison. Geo. Corwin had 8 Oct., 
1662, been appointed captain, Thomas Putnam (of the Village) 
lieutenant, and Walter Price, cornet of the Troop of horse in 
" Lynn, Salem, etc." 

Upon the petition of " Sergeant Major General '' Endicott, Wm. 
Hathorne, Capt. Robert Bridges, and other gentlemen of Lynn and 
Salem, a military company, to be called the " Military company 
of Salem and Lynn " was chartered 14 May, 1645. This 
company on parade made a dashing appearance. In time interest 
Hagged, but in Oct., 1678, a successful attempt was made to reor- 
ganize and William Brown, jr., was appointed captain, John Put- 
nam, formerly corporal in the training band, was chosen lieutenant. 

Upham says that among the signers to this petition were An- 
thony Neediiam, Peter and Ezekiel Cheever, Thomas Flint, 
Thomas and Benjamin Wilkins, Thomas and Jacob Fuller, John 
Proctor, William Osborne, Thomas Putnam, jr., and others of the 
Farms. Each of the officers of this troop were wealthy and took 
much pride in the display of line uniforms and trappings. 

Again Upham in his admirable history of Salem Village says, 
" Another marked featui-e of this people was their military spirit. 



*Tliis year Walter Trice was captain, George Gardner, lieutenant, and 
Zerubabel Endicott, ensign of the Salein company. 



TOWN OF DAN VERS. 93 

Authority was early obtained from the General Court to form a 
foot company. All adults of every description belonged to it, in- 
cluding men much beyond middle life — its officers were the 
fathers of the Village. Every title of rank, from corporal to cap- 
tain, once obtained, was worne ever after through life." Jonathan 
Walcott, a deacon of the church was its captain, Nathaniel Inger- 
soll also a deacon, was successively corporal, sergeant, lieutenant. 
Thomas Putnam, clerk of the parish, was sergeant. " It was almost 
as much thought of as the church, officered by the same persons, 
and composed of the same men. It was a common practice, at the 
close of a parade, before ' breaking line,' for the captain to give 
notices of prayer, church or parish meetings." 

King Philip's War. 

At the opening of the war the colonial militia was quite effi- 
ciently organized. The Essex regiment consisted of thirteen foot 
companies, and one cavalry company. There were 73 organized 
companies in the Massachusetts colony, besides the ••' Three County 
Troop '' made up of men of Suffolk, Middlesex and Essex. The 
highest military office was Major-general and held by Daniel 
Dennison of Ipswich. The highest regimental officer was a Ser- 
geant-major. 

The local companies were not sent on active service out of their 
towns, but men were impressed from them and placed under officers 
especially selected by the Council. Each company of foot had a 
captain, lieutenant, ensign, sergeants, clerk, corporals, and drum- 
mer. Cavalry companies had a cornet in place of ensign and a 
trumpeter, and quartermaster, no drummer. Foot companies were 
composed of 70 men, horse 50. On special service it was more. 

Upon the commencement of the war, the old matchlock musket 
was in use but was exchanged for the flint-lock as being more ser- 
viceable. There were no bayonets, but each com})any had a cer- 
tain number of '' pikemen." In the campaign culminating in Feb., 
1675-76, and in which the memorable assault was made on the 
Narragansett fort, 19 Dec, 1675, the following men from Capt. 
George Curwen's company of troopers served in Capt. Prentice's 
troop of horse, Stephen Haskel, Thomas Putnam, jr.,* Charles 
Blinkoe, John Richards, Thomas Howard, Nathaniel Ballard, jr., 
William Dodge, jr., John Edmonds, William Merriam, Thomas 
Flint, Sr.f, also Joseph Hutchinson and Henry Kenney.^ 

*Thomas Putnam, s^n of Thomas, and grandson of .John. He is the 
sergeant Thomas, whose daughter Ann was one of the unfortunates concerned 
in the Witchcraft delusion a few years hiter. He married Ann Carr. He was 
b. 12 Mar., 1652-3 and died 24 May, 1(399. 

tThomas Flint, son of Thomas and Ann Plint. It is said he was wounded 
at the light in the swamp against the Narragansetts. He married Hannah 
MoiTlton who died 30 Mar., 1673, and again 15 Sept., 1674, Mary Uounton. He 
died 24 May, 1721, set. about 76. 

JHenry Kenny served under Capt. John Whii)ple of Ipswich in June, 1676. 
near Springfield. 



94 EARLY MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS, 

The names of Kenny, Hutchinson, Howard, Putnam and Flint 
are those of Danvers men. 

The following names of men who served under Capt. Nicholas 
Page, in his company of troopers are familiar to Danvers ears, 
Joseph Proctor, Nathaniel Ingersoll, William Osborn, Joseph 
Needham, Francis Coard (Caird?), Benjamin Wilkins, John 
Whipple* (lieut.), Daniel Wilkins. As no places of residence 
are given we do not here attempt to identify the families to whom 
they belonged. This troop accompanied Major Thomas Savage in 
an expedition against Mt. Hope, June to Sept., 1675. 

In Mar., 1675-6, a levy of 48 men from Essex Co., and 40 from 
Norfolk Co., was made to reenforce Major Willard at Groton. 
These men Avere placed under command of Capt. Joseph Cook of 
Cambridge. They arrived at Groton the 14th of March, shortly 
after the destruction of that place. 

Bloody Brook. 

When Capt. Thomas Lothrop and 71 of his men, almost entirely 
from the county of Essex, were slain by the Indians at Bloody 
Brook, 18 Sept., 1675, the consternation throughout the county was 
general. 

Lothrop was among the rate payers of the parish at Salem Vil- 
lage when it was set off from Salem, but his residence was in the 
present town of Beverly. 

Upham says " No man was ever more identified with the history 
of Salem Farms.'' He was constantly engaged in military service 
either against the Indians or the French. The following names of 
inhabitants of the Farms are found among the list of slain at 
Bloody Brook. 

Thomas Bayley, Thomas Buckley, 

Edward Trask, Joseph King, 

Josiah Dodge, Robert Wilson, 

Peter Woodbury, . James Tufts, 

Joseph Balch, Thomas Smith,f sergt. 

Among the names of men under the command of Major Samuel 
Appleton in the Narragansett campaign occur those of Israel Heu- 
ick (Herrick), Thomas Abbey, John Rayment (Raymond), Rob- 
ert Leach, Samuel Hebbart, Stephen Butler, Samuel Verry, which 
are all to be found on our early records. As usual in these rolls 
no places of residence are given, but the company was largely 
drawn from Essex County. 

Among the noted commanders in King Philip's War, was Capt. 
Joseph Gardner of Salem. He was the son of Thomas and Mar- 



*Coinmanded a company of troopers in the next campaign in the spring 
of 1676. 

tBorn in the Village, but at tlus time g, resident of Newbury. 



TOWN OF DANVERS. 95 

garet G-ardner and was a man of mnch importance in the early his- 
tory of Salem. The company he commanded was composed of 
men, residents of Salem and vicinity. Among the men of his com- 
pany who may be claimed for Dan vers are William Hathorne, his 
lieutenant and successor in command, 

Joseph Houlton^ jr.^ Eleazer Lyndsey, 

TJiomas Flinty Thomas Bell, 

Thomas Kenny, Charles Knight^ 

John Stacey, Isaac Reed. 

Capt. Gardner was killed during the battle at the fort and those 
in italics wounded. The story of the attack and capture of the 
fort of the Narragansetts and the effectual blow it dealt to Philip 
has been told again and again. There is no room to repeat it fully 
here. 

The force, commanded in part by two men identified with our 
town, Gardner and Davenport, and composed largely of men from 
our county, in the heart of winter, 19 Dec, penetrated the fast- 
nesses of the Indians and in the face of a fearful fire attacked the 
fort of the enemy. The Massachusetts troops were in the van. 
Says one historian " in all military history there is not a more 
daring exploit. Never, on any field, has more heroic prowess been 
displayed." 

Davenport, mentioned above, was the son of Capt. Richard and 
Elizabeth (Hatliorne) Davenport and was born in Salem Village. 
He was dressed when he fell in a full buff suit. He and Gardner 
" were both the idols of their men." For some time Davenport had 
been living in New York. He married Elizabeth, daughter of 
James Thatcher. 

Capt. Richard Davenport has l)een already mentioned in con- 
nection with a command in the Pequot war, and the cutting out 
of the cross in the flag. He was afterward commandant of the 
Castle, Boston Harbor. 

Besides the men already mentioned as having served in this 
campaign, Upham gives the following, taken from records in the 
State archives, who were present at the Narragansett fight, as from 
Salem Village and its farming neighborhood, viz. 

John Dodge, William Raymond, 

William Dodge, Thomas Raymond, 

Joseph Herrick, Thomas Putnam, jr., 

Thomas Abbey, Robert Leach, 

Peter Prescott. 

Grants of land known as the " Narragansett Townshijjs '' were 
made to the survivors and heirs of the soldiers in the Narragansett 
expedition. To these grants are due in part the very large migra- 
tion of the younger sons of Danvers families during the early years 
of the 18th century. 

While the campaign against the Narragansetts was taking place, 
the garrisons on the Connecticut River were placed under the com^ 



96 EARLY MILITARY ORGANIZATIONvS, 

mand of Capt. Jonathan Poole of Reading. Among the men in 
his command were Joshua and Elisha Fuller, George Eborne, 
Thomas Bishop, Edward Bishop, William Rayment, Zechariah 
Herrick, Benjamin Collins, Joseph Jacobs, Caleb Ray, William 
Stacey, John Dunton. 

These men served under Poole at various dates from Oct., 1675 
to Oct., 1676. No places of residence are given on the rolls and 
that the above are names common on our records, and that a large 
number of Reading men appear on the rolls, is the principal ex- 
cuse for giving them in this connection. 

Jonathan Kettle and Joseph Needham served under Capt. Joseph 
Sill in June, 1676, John Tarball, and Caleb Ray, in Aug., 1676. 

Among the recruits who joined the army after the Narragansett 
fight was a company from Essex county under Capt. Nicholas 
Manning of Ipswich. Anthony Needham was lieutenant. On 
the company rolls occur the names of Richard Scott, John Ballard, 
Stephen Henrick (Herrick), Thomas Raymond, Richard George, 
Richard Norman, Thomas Fuller, William Rayment, Joseph Col- 
lins, some of whom were undoubtedly from Salem Farms. 

A careful examination of the rolls relating to King Philip's 
War will reveal many names which have their counterparts on our 
early records, but the data to locate them, as has already been 
noticed, is extremely hard to obtain. There is an extremely valu- 
able book, prepared by the Rev. George M. Bodge which tells the 
story of the whole war and gives lists of the soldiers : it is entitled 
"Soldiers in King Philip's war.'" 

During the years immediately preceding the Witchcraft delu- 
sion, there were depredations by the Indians on the frontier. 

French Wars. 

The Colonies of Great Britain and France for the whole period 
of their existence under separate governments, were engaged in 
continual wars, some of much more consequence than others. 
The Indian wars during the ] 8th century were instigated nearly 
always by the French. 

The first of the series of the French and Indian Wars opened in 
1689 ; the last closed in 1763. King William's War, so called, 
1689-1697 is memorable for the attack upon Haverhill. Sir William 
Phips led an expedition from Boston, which captured Port Royal 
in 1690. 

In 1689 (1 April), John Bishop, and Nicholas Reed* a servant 
of Edward Putnam, and in 1690, Godfrey Sheldonf were killed by 
Indians, in the outskirts of Salem. "Thomas Alsob, Edward 
Crocker, George Ingersoll killed at Casco Ba3%" on the 4, 5, 6 July 
respectively.^ In June, 1693, William Tarbell, a soldier, was 
killed at the Eastward. In Aug. and October, 1689, Billerica and 



*21 Sept. he was eighteen years of age. 
tS July he wa.s twenty-four years of age. 
J Church Records. 



TOWN OF DANVEES. 97 

Newbury were attacked, and in 1698 a destructive assault was made 
on Haverhill. 

The next of the series is known as Queen Anne's War, 1702-13. 
The French and Indians destroyed Deerfield and the Colonies re- 
captured Port Royal, which was re-named Annapolis. An expe- 
dition against Quebec ended in disaster. Eight men from the 
Village were im})ressed to help man the "Flying Horse," of Salem. 

The rolls of this war contain Dan vers names, but as Dan vers was 
then a part of Salem it is impossible to glean with accuracy. Most 
of the men recorded below, it will be seen, are enrolled after 1710. 

On the 3rd July, 1706, a garrison was stormed at Dunstable, and 
Holyoke, son of Edward Putnam of Salem Village, was killed, as 
well as three other soldiers, and on the 29th Aug., 1708 the French 
and Indians destroyed Haverhill. Upon this alarm the military 
companies of Salem, including a company of foot and troop of 
horse from the village hastened to the rescue of the inhabitants 
and pursued the flying Indians for some distance. Rev. Joseph 
Green, pastor of the church, seized his gun and joined with his 
parishioners in the pursuit. 

King George's war, 1744-48 is chiefly remarkable for the cap- 
ture of the famous French stronghold of Louisburg, by Sir Wil- 
liam Pepperrell, whose name was well known in Danvers. The 
capture of this fort was by a land force wholly of New Englanders, 
but unfortunately the rolls are not complete and such men as went 
from Danvers are credited to Salem. 

The last war of the series usually called the French and Indian 
War, 1754-63, is the one chiefl}^ with which these records have to 
do as the armies raised were the largest so far attempted and the 
drafting from militia regiments was accurately recorded. Thus 
we have a source of information extremely valuable, making it 
possible to give definite information concerning the men of 
Danvers who served in the French Wars. The individual records 
will be found, alphabetically arranged under the head of " French 
War Soldiers." 

The following summary of events by years will enable the 
reader to see about what service the various soldiers were engaged 
in. 

1755. 

The expedition against the French forts in Nova Scotia 
was successful. One of the results was the eviction and transpor- 
tation of 7,000 Arcadians from their home to the colonies. About 
1,000 of these unfortunate people were settled in Massachusetts. 

Two thousand Provincials under John Winslow and Gen. Monck- 
ton of the British army took part in this expedition. The same year 
3,000 men mostly fromMassachusetts andConnecticutand some from 
New Hampshire under the command of Sir William Johnson were 
engaged about Lake George. The battle of the 8th of September 
near Fort Edward resulted in the rout of the Fiench and the capture

their commander, Dieskaii. Col. Ephraim Webb of Massachusetts 
Avas killed. 

Further west Gov. Shirley, with a force composed of his own and 
Sir William Pepperell's regiment, unsuccessfully attempted to 
capture Fort Niagara on Lake Ontario. The troops returned and 
went into winter quarters at Albany. , 

1756. 
Gen. Winslow led an expedition against the French at Lake 
George. This expedition accomplished nothing. Lord Loudoun 
succeeded Shirley in command in July, 1755. 

1757. 

Loudoun got as far as Halifax in an expedition against Louis- 
burg. Montcalm, the French leader, captured Fort William 
Henry, the 9th of Aug., commanded by Col. Monroe. Two thou- 
sand men surrendered. Many Danvers men, it will be seen, were 
there. A horrid massacre was attempted by the Indian allies of 
the French on account of which the paroled prisoners (18 months), 
felt that they were free to enter the service again in 1758, and did 
so in great numbers. 

Upon the intelligence of this disaster, 20,000 militia rushed to 
arms in New England and were placed under the command of Sir 
William Pepperell who went to Springfield to protect the West- 
ern frontier. 

This alarm was nearly as generously responded to by the men of 
Essex Co. as that of the 19tl; of April, 1775, but no fighting oc- 
curred and the term of service was very short. 

Seven thousand men were drafted from the " train bands " in 
Massachusetts, being every fourth free' holder training. Gen. 
Abercrombie, on the 8lh of July, attacked Ticonderoga by assault 
and lost 2,000 men, of whom 500 were from New England. After 
this assault he retired to Lake George. 

1758. 
Col. Bradstreet of Mass. and 3,000 men (about 1,000 from 
Massachusetts) captured Ft. Frontenac on Lake Ontario. Few were 
killed by the enemy, but a number died of disease. Sir Jeffrey 
Amherst besieged Louisburg with 3,000 regulars and some provin- 
cials. Col, Gridley was there. It was captured the 26th of July. 

1759. 
Amherst took Crown Point, Ticonderoga, etc., but failed to ef-

A few words concerning some of the comm^,nders and the coip- 
panies from Danvers will not be amiss, 



TOWN OF DANVERS. 99 

During the last French War, companies were raised for the va- 
rious expeditions against Crown Point, Nova Scotia, or for further 
service. The men enlisted for those purposes, except that in the 
last years Amherst enlisted his men " for the complete reduction 
of Canada." There were several popular leaders in and near Dan- 
vers. Capt. William Flint of Reading had a number of men from 
the outskirts of Danvers in his company. His lieutenant was 
Eleazer Lyndsey, whose father died in Danvers and owned farms 
in both Lynn and Salem Village. James Pool was ensign. They 
were attached to Col. Ichabod Plaisted's regiment, and served 
from May to December, 1756, at Crown Point. 

That same year Capt. Andrew Fuller of Middleton enlisted in 
his company no less than sixteen Danvers men. They were sta- 
tioned at Ft. William Henry in October. Joseph Swain, a son of 
Capt. John of Reading, and the minister at Wenham, was their 
chaplain. John Calef of Ipswich, afterward famous as a Loyalist 
in the Revolution, was their surgeon. Both the lieutenant, James 
Jennison, and the ensign, James Collins, were Danvers young men. 

Again in 1758 we find Fuller's company with a large represen- 
tation from Danvers with Israel Hutchinson as lieutenant, and 
Richard Skidmore, '• old skid '" the famous drummer, on the rolls. 

Israel Herrick of Boxford in his company of Rangers always had 
several Danvers men to- rely upon. He was engaged on the East- 
ern frontier, that is in and about Maine. 

John Tapley of Salem was captain of a company which was at 
the surrender of Fort William Henry. Twelve Danvers men were 
in his company at that time. 

In 1759, Israel Davis of Danvers commanded a com[);iny which 
went to Louisburg and remained in the service till 1761, and a 
large number of his townsmen were in this company. 

Many Danvers men, impressed for the war, Vv^ere however placed 
in companies raised in other parts of the county. The average 
age of the men serving from Danvers could not have been much 
above 21 years, so that it is not to be wondered at the spirit pre- 
vailing in 1775, and the knowledge acquired by these men in the 
French War was used to oreat advantage in the Revolution.

After the conquest of Canada, the militia of Essex County Avas 
organized into seven regiments, the Danvers companies being- 
placed in the 1st regiment with those of Salem, Lynn, Beverly and 
Middleton. In Jan., 1766. Danvers had two militia companies, with 
officers as follows ; 



TOWN OF DANVERS, 109 

1st company, 
Elisha Flint, captain, 
Archelaus Putnam, lieutenant, 
Oliver Putnam, ensign. 

2d company, 
John Epes, captain, 
John Proctor, jr., lieutenant, 
Francis Epes, ensign. 
The Troop of Horse connected with the regiment was oflficered 
as follows: 

Daniel Mackey, captain, 
John Wilkins, lieutenant, 
Cornelius Tarbell, cornet, 
John Putnam, quartermaster. 
In April, 1766, the second company was officered as follows : 
Thomas Porter, captain, 
Joseph Southwick, lieutenant, 
Benj. Procter, ensign. 
Unless as I suspect this was a new company and the one formerly 
known as the '2d became the 3d. 

In 1771, the 1st Essex Regiment was commanded by Col. William 
Brown and the three Danvers companies were officered as follows : 

1st company, 
Caleb Low, captain, 
Ezekiel Marsh, jr., lieutenant, 
John Dodge, ensign. 

2d company. 
Not commissioned. 

od com])any.| 
Jeremiah Page, captain, 
Enoch Putnam, lieutenant. 
Elias Endicott, ensign. 
William Proctor was captain of the Troop of Horse. 
At the outbreak of the' Revolution, Samuel Flint commanded 
one company of the militia ; Sanuiel Epes the other company of 
militia ; the remaining six companies which responded to the Lex- 
ington Alarm were " Alarm Companies " or '' Lists " and '^ Minute 
Men." Upon the alarm that Col. Leslie was marching to Salem, 
26 Feb., 1775, to destroy stores, the minute men of Danvers quickly 
responded, and had not the British retraced theii- steps after cross- 
ing the North River, the first l)attle of the Revolution would have 
been fought at (Gardner's Hill. The rolls of these eiglit companies 
numbering in all 303 men* are given below.

Militia Companies of Danvers during the Revolution. 

In the possession of Mrs. Elizabeth Putnam, widow of Captain 
Andrew Putnam of Danvers, are a number of ancient papers 
amonof them several lists of militia orcjanizations in Danvers durino- 
the Revolution, which we print below. Mrs. Putnam is a grand- 
daughter of the John Prestonf to whom these papers belonged. 

tSince printing the list of French War soldiers, the fact that Levi Preston of 
Danvers was a soldier has been discovered. His record is given below. 

Pnir.LiP Pkestox served in the second Louisburg campaign as is shown by 
the following exti-act from his brother John Preston's diary. " June 10, 1745, 
my brother listed for Cape Britton. Sailed from Boston, June 2(j, and arrived 
at Louisburg- harbor July 6, and wrote me a letter dated July 7. I received it 
July 27. Aug. 18. lie was brouglit liome sick." 

Phillip Preston the subject of the above note died Apr. 14, 174S. 

He was the son of John and Elizabeth (Voden) Preston, and was born Mar. 
6, 1719. He married Ruth, dan. of Thomas and Elizabeth (Whipple) Putnam. 

Those names starred have been scratched in the original.

116* revolutionary soldiers. 

Privateers frojvi Danvers. 

During the Revolution, the Jupiter, Harlequin, Gen. (Ireene, 
and many other privateers and vessels of war, besides merchant 
vessels were built at Danversport. Four twenty gun ships were 
built in the Revolution. The anchors of the celebrated frigate 
Essex were made at the Iron Works. (^Hanson, p. 111). It will 
be also recalled that the stern post of the Essex was a part of the 
tree which stood in the field opposite the Collins house to which 
tree the British soldiers who were camped there in 1774, were 
tied for flogging, when occasion arose. 

The name of but one of the privateersmen has been obtained, 
as follows : 

Hines, Wm., entered on board the sloop (General) Gates, (a 
privateer) 10 July, 1778, at Salem, bound on a cruise to the east- 
ward toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Was Master's Mate on 
said Sloop, which was captured in July, 1778, by British frigate 
Triton, carried to Quebec, afterwards taken to England, lodged in 
Forton Prison near Portsmouth, England, in which he died on the 
14th day of June, 1781, after a 3 years captivity. 

Gen. Gage in Danvers. 

Gen, Gage then the Royal governor of Massachusetts took up 
his residence in the Collins house, 5 June, 1774. On the 21st 
July, two companies of the 64th Reg. Royal troops arrived and 
encamped opposite the mansion. The British returned to Boston, 
5 Sept., 1774. During this period the Page mansion was occupied 
in part, as an office and headquarters. 

In a field on the south side of Sylvan Street, in the rear of the 
residence of I. P. Andrews, Esq., are the unmarked graves of 
several British soldiers.

136 MILTTIA OFFICERS. 

Hanson gives a list of names of men from Danvers engaged in 
the Revolution. As tlie list printed above is not and cannot, from 
the imperfect nature of the existing records, be absolutely correct, 
it is thought advisable to add such names given by Hanson which 
will not be found elsewhere in this report. As the list was com- 
piled in the forties, doubtless many of the names were obtained 
from elderly people then living. 

Barker, Benj. Reed, William 

Berry, William Rue, William 

Clinton, John Setcliel, .Jonathan 

CoUey, William Setchel, John 

Dale, John E. Shaw, Benj. 

Deadman. William Shaw, Joseph 

Downs, Xathaniel Smith. Ephraim 

Elwell, David Stone, James 

Endicott, John Symonds, Francis 

Eppes, Samuel Symonds, Sip 

Larrabee, David Symonds, Thomas,

Leeds, Nathaniel Tufts, Joseph

Nichols, Joseph Waite, Jonathan 

Osborne, Sylvester Whipple, Matthew 

Pillsbury, Joseph Wilson, Jonathan 

Porter, .John Wilson, Newhall 

Proctor, Johnson AVood, Moses 

Rano, Thomas Wyman, Solomon 
Reed, Benjamin 

There are many evident errors in this list of Hanson's both in 
Christian and surnames. Perhaps some of these were privateers- 
men, of whom no other list exists. 



Militia Officers. 

During the twenty years following the Revolution many of the 
veterans of that war obtained commissions in the militia and thus 
a list of the olhcers commissioned from Danvers is of especial in- 
terest. 

Gideon Foster was commissioned Colonel of the 6th regiment, 
13 Sept., 1792, Brigadier General, 30 April, 1796 and Major Gen- 
eral, 17 June, 1801, was discharged 1806.

1813 ; promoted Colonel 5 Aug., 1818.

sion, 1797, it appears that Jethro Putnam was colonel and Johnson 
Proctor, Daniel Usher, Daniel Ring, Solomon Wilkins, Ebenezer 
Goodale were captains. Adjutant, Daniel Osborn. 

Shay's Rebellion. 

There were fourteen men from Dan vers in Capt. John Frances' 
company, in Col. Wade's Essex County regiment, which marched

these are as follows, Daniel Needham, lieutenant; Josiah White, 
sergeant ; Moses Thomas, corporal ; Daniel Bell, drummer.

A sketch of the Danvers Light Infantry. Co. K, Eighth Regi-

Eighth Regiment, was disbanded by order of the commander-in- 
chief, issued by Adj't Gen'l Dalton, Nov. 30, 1889, after a contin- 
uous existence of 82 years, having been organized Feb. 2, 1807. 
The ofificers at the time of disbandment were William H. Dunney, 
captain; Horace Durgin, first lieutenant; William H. Tweed, 
second lieutenant. It bore upon its rolls at the time 5 enlisted 
men, the full quota. 

The place thus made vacant in the Eighth Regiment was sought 
after by many companies. A petition from Salem was denied in 
1889. Finally, in 1891, it was given out that a petition from Dan- 
vers would be favorably received by the governor (William E. 
Russell) and the paper was accordingly drawn up by Lieut. Col. 
(subsequently Colonel) Charles L. Dodge, of the Eighth, and cir- 
culated among the young men of the town by F. Pierce Tebbetts. 
John T. Carroll was the first signer. 

March 9, 1891, Col. J. Albert Mills of the Eighth came to Dan- 
vers and met the signers of the petition at the skating rink on Ma- 
ple street, which building was subsequently remodeled for an ar- 
mory for the company. 

A few days later, the colonel's impressions having been favorably 
reported to the governor, the petition was sent in, and Adj't Gen. 
Samuel Dalton was directed by the commander-in-chief to inspect 
the would-be soldiers, which he did on the evening of March 17, at 
Town hall, assisted by Col. George A. Keeler. 

Upon receipt of the general's report, the governor caused an or- 
der to be issued, directing the muster-in of the company at Dan- 
vers, on March 25. On that date the men (gathered at the Old 
Berry Tavern, where the old time militia-men were wont to as- 
semble 3^ears ago, and Col. Mills then and there mustered into the 
state service 51 men. Assisting Col. Mills were Lieut. Col. Dodge, 
Maj. Pew, Surgeon Hersey, Assistant Surgeon Galloupe and Pay- 
master Warner. Lieut. G. N. B. Cousens of I Company, Lynn, 
who was detailed to act as instructor to the new company, was al- 
so present. 

On the same evening a special town meeting had been called, 
and upon a presentation of the matter by Frank C. Damon and 
Col. Mills, $100 was appropriated to heat and light the armory of 
the company for a year. Later the selectmen leased the skating

rink for a period of five years, and the company, assisted by the 
honorary members, and skating rink association, remodeled and fur- 
nished the structure at an expense of some -13,000. 

The first drills were held at Town hall, under the instruction of 
Lieut. Cousens. Here, April 7, the members of the company as- 
sembled for the election of officers. Lieut. Col. Dodge presided, 
and the result was as follows : Frank C. Damon was elected cap- 
tain, receiving all of the 45 votes cast. F. Pierce Tebbetts was 
elected first lieutenant, receiving on the second ballot 42 of the 49 
votes cast. Fred U. French was elected second lieutenant on the 
second ballot, receiving 25 votes, while A. Preston Chase received 24. 

On the 22d of April the above named officers appeared before 
the military examining board, of which Brig. Gen. Peach was presi- 
dent, at the State House, Boston, and were commissioned and as- 
signed to duty. 

The new armory was opened in due form, Aug. 26, 1891, and 
drills have since been held there weekly. 

In May, 1892, Lieut. Tebbetts resigned, and Lieut. French was 
promoted to first lieutenant, while Sergt. A. Preston Chase was 
elected second lieutenant. 

There have been many changes in the membership of the com- 
mand in the three years that it has been in existence, but most of 
the officers remain the same. The original members of the com- 
pany are given herewith, those marked with an asterisk being mus- 
tered in at various times between March 25 and the first encamp- 
ment in July, 1891.

Proceedings Danvers Historical Society, 20 April, 1891. 
1775 - April 19, - 1891. 



The Danvers Historical Society celebrated the 116th anniversary 
of the Battle of Lexington. Apr. 20, 1891, by exercises afternoon 
and evening at the Town Hall, with an intermission of a couple of 
hours, pleasantly spent at the supper table, which was spread in 
Gothic Hall, and at which nearly two hundred covers were laid. 

The Town Hall was gracefully and appropriately decorated un- 
der the personal supervision of Dr. Warren Porter. Upon the 
platform were portraits of Gen. Gideon Foster and Gen. Moses 
Porter, the rapier once owned by Capt. Jeremiah Page, and me- 
morials of Capt. Samuel Flint. Upon the platform were seated 
many invited guests ; there being a large delegation headed by 
their President, from the Lexington Historical Society. The hall 
was taxed to its utmost seating capacity, nearly five hundred peo- 
ple being present. 

Shortly after half-past three, after the singing of a hymn written 
by Rev. James Flint and prayer by Rev. E. C. Ewing, President 
A. P. Putnam addressed the meeting, saying : 

" Ladies and Gentlemen: Other towns which were represented 
prominently in the battle of April 19, 1775, have from time to 
time very worthily commemorated the event. Lexington has done 
so this year ; Concord is now doing so. I am not aware that Dan- 
vers has celebrated the day except as the old, undivided town com- 
memorated it at the dedication of the monument to the men who 
fell in the engagement. That act of dedication was fifty-six years 
ago today. It is proper, we think, that the good old town should 
follow the example of her sister towns, and it has seemed meet 
that the Danvers Historical Society should take the initiation. 
That is why we are here today, for Danvers, as well as other 
towns, took an honorable part in that day's strife and warfare, a 
part which it has seemed to us should be told as it has not been 
before. Her citizens had long considered the course of affairs be- 
fore April 19, 1775 ; had discussed in shop and store and tavern 
and town meeting the oppressive measures of the mother country, 
and had more and more entered into a determination to be free 
'and not slaves. They organized militia and minute companies, 
trained them on their own Common in the town and on the Village 
Green, and more and more prepared themselves for action in case 
the hour of emergency should arrive. That hour arrived and not 
Jess tlian eight companies rushed forth tQ the scene of agtion. 



TOWN OF DAK VERS. 147 

The story will be told by those who are to follow me. I shall not 
take up their precious time. It is enough for me simply to an- 
nounce the character of the meeting, the purposes of it and what 
we trust will be the lesson of it, and to welcome those who have 
been invited to join us as special guests of the occasion. They 
come, I might well say, from many a battlefield of that day, for 
the battlefield extended all the way from Lexington and Concord 
back to Lexington and on to Charlestown. It was one continu- 
ous day's work. And we have to greet friends here and now 
from Lexington, Concord, Acton and elsewhere, from Boston, 
from Salem and towns immediately around us, as well as invited 
guests from the town of Danvers. It is with great pleasure that 
we welcome Rev. Dr. George W. Porter, a native of Beverly, the 
President of the Lexington Historical Society, the nephcAv of Gen- 
eral Moses Porter, one of the most illustrious soldiers of his time, 
whose portrait you see before you. We welcome Charles Parker 
of Lexington, the great grandson of the Capt. Parker who com- 
manded the militia on Lexington Common. We welcome Luther 
Monroe. Ensign Robert Monroe, sixty-three years old, the first 
man killed at Lexington, was his grandfather's uncle.'* 

Dr. Putnam then introduced Mr. Ezra D. Hines, the historiog- 
rapher of the Danvers Historical Society who delivered the follow- 
ing interesting sketch of the part the Danvers men took in the 
battle, many of the facts being freshly collated and more fully 
given than in any other historical account on record : 
WHAT THE DANVERS MEN DID. 

"We meet today and in the language of the poet say — 
'Backward, turn backward! O Time in thy tlie:ht,' 
— SO that we may in imagination believe the wheels of time actu- 
ally turned back, and that we stand face to face with the men and 
the events of long ago. 

What are we here to celebrate ? We assemble near the anni- 
versary of that great day, April 19, 1775, that day dear to all true 
American hearts, to celebrate events which have become historic, 
and which have become noted the world over. We are here to call 
to remembrance that day when the first blood of the revolution 
was shed by our townsmen and our countrymen in defence of their 
lives, their liberties and their homes. 

We come also to commemorate that day which has been made 
glorious, and which is and shall be renowned as the day on which 
were begun those events which finally culminated in the emanci- 
pation of the American colonies from the yoke of England, and 
which resulted in the establishment of a new nation and the be- 
ginning of a career of future usefulness and glory. But more es- 
pecially do we come to recount the deeds and to reheaise the 
brave actions of the men of Danvers, our ancestors, who took part 
in that first bloody resistance to the British authorities, and in 
which some of them gave their lives in defence of their country, 



148 HISTORICAL SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS, 

The storm which on the 19th da}^ of April, 1775, burst upon this 
neighborhood was neither sudden nor unexpected : it had been 
brewing for a long time, and as we are told in Holy Writ of the 
wise man who built his house upon a strong foundation, so that 
when the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew 
and beat upon that house, it fell not, because that man had builded 
wisely, with the solid rock for a foundation ; so, when this April 
Revolutionary storm beat upon our ancestors, upon men wise in 
judgment, and with principles and convictions firm and enduring 
as the solid rock, they were not surprised, and this occurrence did 
not take them unawares, for, like the wise man, they were pre- 
pared and ready when the emergency came. 

Governor Gage issued writs Sept. 1, 1774, convening the Gen- 
eral Court at Salem on the .5th of October, but dissolved it by 
proclamation dated Sept. 28, 1774, The members, however, who 
were elected to it, pursuant to the course agreed upon, resolved 
themselves into a Provincial Congress. One of the members of 
this Congress was Dr. Samuel Holten, a man honored and beloved 
in Danvers. This body, on the 26th of October, adopted a plan 
for organizing the militia, maintaining it and calling it out when 
circumstances should render it necessary. It provided that one- 
quarter of the number enrolled should be held in readiness to mus- 
ter at the shortest notice, who were called by the popular name of 
Minute Men. An executive authority — the Committee of Safety 
— was created, clothed with large discretionary powers, and 
another called the Committee of Supplies. Another very impor- 
tant act of this Congress was the authorizing of the collection of 
military stores. 

The several towns also formed alarm-list companies. These 
were stirring times, but men were found equal to the occasion ; 
men who had the courage of their convictions and who dared to 
declare that ' no danger shall affright, no difficulties shall intimi- 
date us ; and, if in support of our rights we are called to encoun- 
ter even death, we are yet undaunted, sensible that he can never 
die too soon who lays down his life in support of the laws and lib- 
erties of his country.' 

How soon some of them were to lay down their lives we shall 
presently see. 

The town of Danvers had at that time some regular militia com- 
panies, and new companies were now formed to carry out the 
wishes of the late Congress, so that when the 19th of April arrived 
we find there were eight companies in the town. 

Before I speak of the Danvers men and the part they took in 
this first battle, let me briefly relate what happened on the night 
of the 18th of April, and the early morning of the 19th. 

As before stated, the Congress of which I have spoken author- 
ized the collection of military stores, and one of the places where 
such stores had been collected was at Concord. 



TOWN OP DANVERS. l49 

To seize these stores was an objective point on the part of the 
British General Gage; so on the night of the 18th of April, about 
10.30 o'clock, the Britisli troops, consisting of grenadiers, light in- 
fantry and marines, about 800 in all (the flower of the Britisli ar- 
my), under the command of Lieut. Colonel Smith, leave Boston 
and get across in boats to the Cambridge side, landing at Lech- 
mere's Point, East Caml)ridge ; they remain here awhile, and then 
march along and reach Menotomy (what is now Arlington) about 
2 A. M. of the 19th, and then continue their march to Lexington, 
where they arrive in the early morning, and where the colonists 
are drawn up in arms to meet them, having Ijeen warned of the 
approach of the British, as you are all well aware, by Paul Revere 
in his midnight ride. And here in Lexington was the first resis- 
tance offered to the British on their march. 

The question has often arisen. Who fired the first shot on that 
eventful morning ? But no one has ever doubted that the first shot 
was fired and that it was heard around the world. And now let 
us leave the British troops at Lexington and come back to our 
own town of Danvers. 

Wednesday the 19th day of April, 1775, has arrived. The 
glorious orb of day in his course through the heavens casts his 
beams aslant on the villages of our town, in which peace and har- 
mony and intense loyalty dwell. He looks down upon our pas- 
tures green with grass, upon the peach trees in full Ijloom, upon 
the barley waving in the fields. His hot rays presage a warm and 
sultry day. This describes the early morning. It is now near 
nine o'clock. The hurried hoof-beats of a messenger's horse are 
heard in our streets, where so recently all was quiet. He an- 
nounces in a loud, strong and vigorous voice : ' The British have 
marched to Lexington, our brothers there have met them, and a 
battle has ensued. Rise, brothers, and without delay hasten to 
their relief !' 

No sooner is the message given than the men of Danvers pre- 
pare to depart for the scene of carnage. Let us bear in mind that 
the Danvers of 1775 was a very large town, including besides the 
present town of Danvers the town now known as Peabody. The 
messenger had undoubtedly first aroused the people of the south 
part of the town, which is now Peabody ; and now, from field and 
mill, from farm and shop, from parsonage and humbler dwelling, 
do the men of Danvers rush forth to their country's defence. 
Truly can it be said of them : 

• Swift as the summons came they left 
The plow, mid furrow, standiug still. 
The half-ground corn grist in the mill. 
The spade in earth, the axe in cleft. 

They went where duty seemed to call, 
They scarcely asked the reason why; 
They only knew they could but die. 
And death was not the worst of all." 



160 HISTORICAL SOCIETY, PROCEEDINGS, 

Eight companies inarched from Dan vers on that eventful day. 

Three of the companies belonged to the Essex Regiment, com- 
manded by Col. Timothy Pickering of Salem. One of these com- 
panies was under the tiommand of Capt. Samuel Flint. It num- 
bered about fortj-tive officers and men, and from their names it 
would seem that it came from what is now West Peabody and 
Danvers Centre. 

Another was Capt. Samuel Epes's company, consisting of 
eighty-two officers and men. This company was from the south 
part of the town, now Peabody. The late Gen. Gideon Foster was 
an officer of this company. 

I should remark here that upon the lists at the State house. Gen. 
Foster is not named as commander of a company ; but, at the ded- 
ication of the monument in 1835, in his remarks he alluded to the 
fact that about ten daj's previous to the battle, lie raised a com- 
pany of minute men, and had command of them on that day. The 
men were taken from Capt. Epes" company. 

On the morning of the 19th of April, Capt. Epes, after the 
alarm was given, hastened to Salem and saw his Colonel (Picker- 
ing) in his office, the Registry of Deeds, and obtained i)ermission 
from him to march in advance of the regiment. 

The third company belonging to this regiment was under the 
command of Capt. Jeremiah Page and consisted of thir.ty-seven 
officers and men. 

A company of minute men commanded by Capt. Israel Hutchin- 
son included fifty-three officers and men from the north part of 
Danvers, mostly, perhaps, from what is now Danversport, and 
many from Beverly. 

Capt. Caleb Lowe's company, in all twenty-three officers and 
men, were evidently from the south part of the town. The sixth 
company was that of Capt. Asa Prince, and numbered tliirty-seven 
officers and men from what is now Danvers Centre. The seventh 
company was an ' alarm company,' commanded by Capt. John Put- 
nam, and had thirty-five officers and men from the north part of 
the town. The eighth organization was also an ' alarm company ' 
of seventeen officers and men, commanded by Deacon Edmund 
Putnam and Rev. Benjamin Balch as first lieutenant. This com- 
pany was evidently from Putnam ville and Beaver Brook. 

These were the companies that marched on the 19th. The 
day was exceedingly warm. They marched and ran to the scene 
of the conflict over fences, through fields, scaling stone walls, and 
now on the roads they travelled on, the feeling uppermost in their 
minds being how to get there the soonest. They probably could 
not have started much before 10 o'clock, and they must have 
reached Menotomy (now Arlington) in the neighborhood of half- 
past two or three. What a march, or run I What brave fellows 
they were, and what an heroic spirit they displayed I They did not 
go together, the men from the south part of the town going one

way and those from the north part another. The cry was. On ! 
on ! aiiy way to get there ! The goal was finally reached. The}' 
arrived at Menotoniy, and here with others tliey preparc^d to at- 
tack the British on their retreat into Chailestown. 

While they are waiting let us go back to the early morn at Lex- 
ington. The British, after their encounter with the Lexington 
men, march on to Concord to carry out the pur[)0se for which they 
started, to wit, to seize the stores already accumulated there. 
Here, too, as well as at Lexington, they meet with resistance, and 
finally are obliged to beat a retreat. Their ammunition having 
given out, they were in great danger of being captured had not 
Lord Percy's reinforcements met them near Lexington. The num- 
ber of the colonists constantl}' increasing, and the firing continuing 
incessant, the British had nothing to do but to stand and fight or 
retreat. They begin a retreat, which is continued until they reach 
Charlestown. In the vicinity of 5 P. M., they reach Menotomy, 
where our men from Danvers and others are impatiently awaiting 
them that they may give them battle. 

And now the British come in sight, and soon our Danvers men 
with others will engage them liere. From the enti-ance of tlie 
British army into Menotomy until they leave the place, tliey are 
beset behind and before. Both sides fight with great vigor. 
Paige, the historian, says that the carnage was greater here than in 
any other town on that day. Greater, indeed, than in all others 
combined, if it be true, as has been stated by a diligent investiga- 
tor, that at least twenty-two of the Americans and probably more 
than twice that number of the Britisli fell in West Cambridge. 

It seems that the Danvers men, oi- many of them, had stationed 
themselves in the yard of Jason Russell, not far from the centre of 
Menotomy. I understand the house is still standing. Li this 
yard there were many bundles of shingles, looking as though the 
proprietor was about to shingle his house. Here a sort of barri- 
cade was made with these shingles, and inside of this enclosure 
they stationed themselves and attacked the British soldiers. Near 
this place is a hill, around which the road wound in such a man- 
ner as to conceal the British. 

King, in his address at the dedication of the monument to the 
memory of the Danvers men who fell on that day, states that ' ru- 
mor had deceived our men as to the force of the British ; it was 
their expectation here to have intercepted their retreat. But the}' 
had little space of preparation ; they soon saw the British in solid 
column descending the hill on their right, and at the same mo- 
ment discovered a large flank guard advancing on their left.' 

The men here in this enclosure (our Danvers men forming a 
part), finding themselves in this fearful and trying j)osition, fought 
desperately and gallantly. The British, too, were desperate. 
They were mad clear through. They had been harassed all the 
way thus far on their retreat, but most of the way the provincials 



15^ HISTORICAL SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS, 

had attacked them from under cover. Now to have surrounded 
them, they were determined to show no quarter. 

In this trap our Danvers men were caught ; they were pressed 
so furiously by the British that some of the men — possibly some of 
our Danvers men — were driven into the cellar of a neighboring 
house, where they were inhumanly treated. 

In this yard of Jason Jlussell's, or in the cellar of the house 
above referred to, perished the men whom we are proud to call the 
Danvers mii.rt3n-s. As in the past, so now, let us rewrite in letters 
of living light upon the scroll of the fair record of our good old 
town the names of those heroes who fell at Menotomy — Benjamin 
Daland, jr., Henry Jacobs, jr., George Southwick, jr., Samuel 
Cook, jr., Eben Goldthwait, Perley Putnam, Jotham Webb — who 
died fighting for their homes and against oppression. 

Nor would we forget the wounded of that day, Dennison Wallis 
and Nathan Putnam, nor the others, officers and men, who sur- 
vived the fearful fight and lived many years after, but who have 
all long since passed away. But I must hasten on. The remainder 
of the story is soon told. The British go on in their retreat, and 
at dusk have neared the haven they longed for — C'harlestown — 
where they remain for the night. The day is over, the sun has 
now disappeared from view and soon the darkness of night will 
cover the scene. What a day it has been ! What scenes have been 
enacted ! The dead are tenderly and reverently cared for by the 
survivors, who know that they have nobly and gloriously fallen, 
and that— 

' Xo more on life's parade shall meet 

That brave and fallen few; 

On fame's eternal camping ground 

Their silent tents are spread, 

And glory guards, with solemn round, 

The bivouac of the dead.' 

The troops remain over night accommodating themselves as best 
they can to the circumstances in which they are placed. The 
British have been beaten and have been driven back to the place 
from which they started on the 18th and 19th of April. The war 
has begun in earnest. There being no immediate prospect of 
another battle our Danvers men return to their homes, bearing 
with them their dead and wounded, and on Friday, the 21st, these 
men, who two days before started for the battle with their com- 
rades, full of life and hope, are now laid to rest in the soil of their 
own homes and among their kindred. Brave souls I ye gave up 
your lives for others. Greater love hath no man than this that 
he lay down his life for his country and his friends. 

I was to give a general sketch of the events of the 19th. To 
other hands is left the task of filling in the details as to individu- 
als, who and what they were and the part they took on that event- 
ful day. 



TOWN OF DAN VERS. 168 

But for the brave men of this and succeeding battles of the Rev- 
olution, we should not today have a country to love. Let us re- 
member the debt we owe to these brave heroes and tell it to our 
children, that they in turn may tell it to their children, and to 
their children's cliildren, and thus may we keep their memory 
fresh and green — both now and in all time to come." 

Hon. Alden P. White of Danvers read the following letter 
from Johu G. Whittier : 

Oak Knoll, April 16, 1891. 
Dear Miss Hunt : 

I fear that I shall not be able to be present at the meeting of 
the Danvers Historical Society on the 20th inst. I am sure that the 
occasion will not be lacking interest, as it will recall the heroism 
and self-sacrifice of the old historic town a century ago. Your 
society is doing a good and needed work, and it deserves the 
hearty support of all our citizens. 

I am very truly thy friend, 

John G. Whittier. 

D. Webster King of Boston, a native of Peabody, read a paper 
concerning Capt. Samuel Flint and General Gideon Foster, both 
of whom led companies to Lexington. Mr. King is a descendant 
of these two heroes. A brief abstract is here presented : 

"• Of the Flints who served in the Revolution, history records 
but two who were residents of Danvers, Samuel and William ; 
these were descendants respectively of two brothers, Thomas and 
William, who emigrated to Salem probably previous to 1640. 
They were evidently in favor of Free Trade ; surely they were not 
High Protectionists ; whatever may have been the degree of loyal- 
ty of the English ancestors, it is evident that their descendants, 
in 1775, held slight respect for British rule. 

I have no record of Wm. Flint's connection with the battle of 
Lexington, but he was one of the soldiers from Danvers engaged 
in the Revolutionary War. 

Captain Samuel Flint was in command of one of the seven com- 
panies from Danvers which answered to their country's call in the 
hour of peril, April 19, 1775. It was rumored that Capt. Flint 
was among the slain, and his return to his family and friends was 
a joyous surprise. He was, however, destined to die a soldier's 
death for on the seventh of October, 1777, at Stillwater, he was 
slain at the head of his company. An officer once asked him where 
he siiould find him on a certain occasion ; his reply was worthy the 
proudest days of Sparta : ' Where the enemy is, there will you find 
me.' Capt. Flint was probably the only commissioned officer from 
Danvers killed in the Revolution. 

Gen. Gideon Foster was born Feb. 13, 1748, in a house formerly 
standing at the corner of Foster and Lowell streets, Peabody. His 
father was Gideon Foster, a native of Ipswich, who had married 



154 HISTORICAL 80CIKTY PKOCEEDTNGS, 

Lydia Goldthwait of Danvers. Gideon Foster married Marcia, 
daughter of Daniel Jacobs, Oct. (3, 1750 ; their children were Gid- 
eon, John, Marcia and Lydia, none of whom married, so the family 
is now extinct. 

Gen. Foster was of a commanding and impressive bearing as I 
well remember. Of the company drafted here he was chosen 
commander and the first time he led them to face the enemy was 
on Sunday, the twenty-sixth of Feb., 1775, when Col. Leslie at- 
tempted to destroy the stores at Salem and Danvers. I quote Gen. 
Foster's own words from his address hf ty-six years ago : ' About 
ten days before, I had been chosen to command a company of min- 
ute men. They all assembled on this very spot where we are now 
assembled and in about four hours from the time of meeting, they 
travelled on foot (full half the way upon the run) sixteen miles, 
and saluted the enemy. Three of them were slain upon that day. 
I alone remain to tell their story.' 

In 1792, Capt. Foster was promoted to the rank of Colonel ; in 
1796, he was chosen Brigadier-General and in 1801 he was elected 
Major General by the Legislature. 

Gen. Foster was probably the last surviving commissioned 
officer of the Revolution.'' 

Mr. Eben Putnam spoke as follows : 

The Putnams at Lexington Fight. 

" I have been asked to tell you something of ' Captains Edmund 
and John Putnam and others.' I shall confine myself to the Put- 
nams, but were I to include amongst the ' others ' all of that name 
who were present at the Retreat of the British from Concord, or 
even those there from Danvers, I should be taking the time al- 
lotted to the more eloquent and interesting speakers yet to follow. 

Before I pass to a more extended notice of those to whom such 
is due, it is meet that I indulge in a brief resume of the part 
which the Putnam family took on that memorable 19th of April. 

Unfortunately the tax lists of Danvers for 1775 are missing, but 
from those of 1773 I find that thirty-six by the name of Putnam, 
most of whom were heads of families, were taxed at that date ; and 
in 1775 I find that thirty-four Putnams marched from this town to 
Lexington. Probably there were at that period capable of bearing 
arms, about forty of this name in Danvers, so it is evident that 
the martial spirit of the family was thoroughly aroused. 

Upon the Lexington Alarm Lists at the State House may be 
seen the names of eighty-six Putnams, all of the Danvers family, 
who hastened to Lexington from various Massachusetts towns 
upon the alarm. Not all reached that place in time to get a shot 
at the retreating British, but those from Danvers, Beverly, Chelms- 
ford, Reading, Medford and Sudbury did; and of our Danvers 
men, you have already heard how, in that fatal walled enclosure, 
Parley Putnam was killed and his brother Nathan severely wounded. 



TOWN OF DAN VERS. 155 

These two young men were sons of Jonathan Putnam, a great- 
great-grandson of my emigrant ancestor. Perley was born on the 
17th of March, 1754, and had but reached his 21st year. 

Nathan was his senior by not quite five years. These young- 
men were in the Company of Israel Hutchinson, which had for its 
second lieutenant Enoch, son of Jethro Putjiam, a member of the 
same younger branch of the family, and who afterward rose by 
successive steps in the service to the grade of colonel. With 
them was also Tarrant Putnam, a second cousin of Enoch, and 
whose widow married Captain Robert Fostei- of Revolutionary 
fame. 

Nathan Putnam had in 1771, married the daughter of Dr. Amos 
Putnam, whose portrait hangs upon our walls. 

I find but little mention of Nathan in after years except that he 
continued in the service during the siege of Bostoni and at one 
time enjoyed the office of constable. He died in 1783. 

Still another brother was Jeremiah Putnam, afterward a captain 
in the 27th Foot Regiment, who served long and honorably in the 
war. A sister of these three brothers married Henry Putnam, tlie 
son of another martyr to Liberty on that eventful day. The 
father of this Henry bore the same name as his son, and was at 
this time living in Medford, in that part near Charlestown, where 
at one time he kept school. He was a veteran of Louisburg, a 
man of experience in military matters and had earned the commis- 
sion of lieutenant which he held during the Louisburg Expedi- 
tion. Although exempt from military duty he accompanied the 
troops to Lexington and fell in action. His sword which he car- 
ried at Louisburg and other military trappings are in the posses- 
sion of his descendants. The son Henry had marched as a first 
lieutenant in Jeremiah Page's company and was quite badly 
wounded (a fact not mentioned in any of the chronicles of the 
fight) and remained at Medford, where his wife joined him. Upon 
the morning of the 17th of June, she drove him to the foot of 
Bunker Hill, and he did good service on that and other occasions, 
as he served throughout the sieoe. 

Deacou Edmund Putnam, who so gallantly led his band of min- 
ute men, or more properly speaking. Alarm List, was the son of 
John Putnam and a great-great-grandson of the first John, through 
his second son Nathaniel, and was born 27 June, 1725. Deacon 
Edmund was a man of great strength, both mentally and physi- 
cally, and his character was highly esteemed. Rev. Benjamin 
Balch acted as lieutenant of this company.

156 HISTORICAL SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS, 

At the time of the Lexington Alarm, Deacon Edmund was liv- 
ing in the old Daniel Rea house, still standing on the road to Piit- 
naniville, although at one time he lived over tlie line in Topsfield. 
In his company were Ensign Tanant Putnam, Sergeant Benja- 
min Putnam, and Private Aaron Putnam, all of the tribe of Na- 
thaniel and near neighbors of their captain. 

Benjamin and Aaron were credited with but one day's service. 
How this is, I do not understand, as it seems improbable that they 
would have gone to Cambridge and back on the same day, to say 
nothing of having taken part in the battle. Sergeant Benjamin 
had a son in Captain Jeremiah Page's company and Aaron's 
brother Phineas served in the company of Captain John Putnam, 
the half-brother of Edmund. Captain John Putnam was born in 
1720 and died in 1786. He was a man of great influence among 
his neighbors and was, I imagine, of a more pugnacious disposi- 
tion than Edmund. John Putnam as well as his brother Edmund, 
served the town in many capacities having often been selectman 
and on various important committees. His title of captain adhered 
to him through life, while that of his brother Edmund speedily 
gave way to his older, more digniiied, and sober title of deacon. 
While Captain Edmund's company was one of the smallest of our 
Danvers companies, that of John's was much larger. Among 
Captain John's men were Corporal Asa, likewise a deacon in the 
First Church, Phineas, Enos, Joseph, and James Phillips, a son of 
Dr. Amos Putnam. 

Deacon Edmund Putnam was one of the first to adopt the Uni- 
versalist faith in the vicinity and among his descendants may be 
reckoned one of the most prominent Unitarian divines. 

We must not forget, that there were equally true and brave men 
among the Loyalists of those days. A Danvers man, James Put- 
nam, had, previous to the Revolution, risen to high honor in the 
legal profession. He was born just below the present home of the 
poet Whittier, and there his brother Archelaus still lived at the 
outbreak of the Revolution. 

Another brother. Dr. Eben Putnam, lived in Salem and Avas a 
member of the Committee of Safety, All of these brothers were 
unjustly accused by the mob of being tories, and suffered consider- 
able annoyance. 

The battle of Lexington lost James Putnam his extensive prop- 
erties in Worcester, sent him a refugee to England and lost to Mass- 
achusetts the best lawyer of the time, one to whom the patriot 
Adams owed much of his legal ability. His letters in my pos- 
session tell of the most sincere love for his country. Both of his 
brothers regained the confidence of their fellow-citizens, and each 
in his own way served his country. 

Another Danvers man has been deeply wronged by tradition and 
I cannot close without correcting the mistake. Timothy Putnam 
is said, in the History of Essex County, to have left his native 
hillside and fled, a tory, to Nova Scotia. 



TOWN OF DAN VERS. 157 

In fact, Timothy Putnam died herein 1756, and his widow, who 
had previously been the wife of Caleb Putnam, married Richard 
Upham and in 1761, with her family of youne^ sons removed to 
Truro, Nova Scotia and there the sons founded a nourishing bi'anch 
of the Putnam family, who mistakenly pride themselves upon be- 
ing descended from refugees. 

I have not told you of the young son of Major Ezra Putnam, 
who, aged 16, went as a drummer to Lexington and served through- 
out the siege, nor of the boy Amos l*utnam, son of a Danvers man, 
who had settled in New Salem. This boy who died of exhaustion 
on the rapid march to Lexington, is to be honored as much as his 
more fortunate cousin, Perley, who fell by British bullets. 

The martial spirit of the family did not die away with the evac- 
uation of Boston, for over one hundred of its members served in 
the Continental Army, and in the second great war of Liberty, 
there were at least three hundred bearing the name amongst the 
' Boys in Blue,' and the record is not yet complete.'" 

Doctor Patnam then introduced Hon. Robert S. Rantoui, Mayor 
of Salem, who spoke as follows : 

" Many of the acts of our lives are well enough forgotten, not 
that they are in themselves bad or mean, or necessarily selfish, but 
that they are trivial and have no ultimate results. They produce 
no ripple upon the current of human events. But now and then 
a great historic event occurs, and when that happens, such an event 
as we are here today to commemorate, it is a thing not to be for- 
gotten, but to be perpetuated and kept in memory to the remotest 
time. Therefore it is not only a pleasure but a solemn duty to at- 
tend an occasion like this, and to help in every way in our })Ower to 
hand down to our posteiity the recollections of the virtues and ex- 
cellences of our ancestry. Had there been time, I should have 
tried to emphasize this single view of the extraordinary transac- 
tions of the day which we are now celebrating — a view of the ex- 
tremely homely, domestic, personal character of this encounter at 
Lexington. It always seems to me to be a hand-to-liand fight of 
the nations. The relations of the colonists to the representatives 
of the British government were so peculiar, so intimate, the colo- 
nists were such thorough-going law and order men, conservative 
in every fibre, respecting the law, desiring to obey the law, respect- 
ing the emissaries of the law who had been sent here to govern 
them, that the colonists who stood on Lexington Common had a 
terrible task to bring their minds to the position in which they 
found themselves that day. The very muskets which they took 
to defend themselves with were known as 'King's arms.' They 
were fighting at their own thresholds, behind their own stone 
fences, in presence of their own families and children ; they were 
fighting at Concord Bridge with their own venerated pastor look- 
ing from his own study window upon his own parishioners to see 
them quit themselves like men, as they did on that glorious occa- 



158 HlSTORfCAL SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS, 

sion. There was none of the flaunting of banners and the blare of 
trumpets and the excitement and chivalry and romance which car- 
ries young men off on a march with an army to attack a distant or 
foreign enemy. It' there was any of it, it was on the British side. 
I think the feeling those men had in their minds was not so much 
aggressive as conservative. I think they felt they were driven to 
the wall, that they were cornered, that there was no escape consist- 
ent with self-respect and the preservation of the rights of English- 
men froiu the dilemma in which tlie Biitish government had placed 
them. Therefore they resolved that the last price — the price of 
blood — was not too great a price to pay for the liberties of English- 
men. It is not reasonable to suppose that they saw very clearly 
the vast dimensions of the struggle which was before them or the 
I'esults which were to follow. It is idle to think that they were 
fighting for a nation as wide as a continent, spanning from one 
ocean to another, or anything of that sort. I think that they stud- 
ied out from Blackstone their legal rights as Englishmen, and I 
think that ' they knew their rights, and knowing, dare maintain.' " 

The afternoon exercises came to a close with the singing of 
'* America." 

The exercises were continued during the evening: among the 
speakers was Hon. M. Chamberlain who said : 

"- What actuated the men of the Revolution in the course which 
they took ? Was it actual taxation ? No. Not a j^enny was ever 
paid by them on an ounce of tea, not a penny was ever paid for a 
stamp under the stamp act. From Maine to Georgia, never was a 
cent taken out of the pockets of the colonists by reason of the tax- 
ation of the British Government. What was it, then, aofainst 
which they took up arms ? It was aganist the principle of the 
right to tax as expressed in the stamp act and kindred measures. 
The marvel of all this matter to me is that 3,000,000 of people 
should take up arms, not in consequence of what they suffered, but 
in consequence of what they apprehended; not because it bore 
heavily upon them, but because of the right. There was a princi- 
ple at stake which touched their patriotism, and a principle which 
touched their religion ; and for that they went to war, for that 
they suffered hardships. Wlio were they? They were men of 
clear intelligence and right thinking, of determined perseverance. 
They had thought this thing out, and they knew what their rights 
were. Those were the men to whom we are so much indebted. 

What was the course of instruction which so impressed those 
men of New England with a desire to vindicate their rights and to 
withstand and confront and finally to conquer the most colossal 
power of modern times ? Patriotism was then, as it ought to be 
today and forever, a religious sentiment with them. It was a part 
of tlieir religion not to submit false principles in civil government 
any more than in religion or in church government. That lay at 
the foundation of their action."' 



I^OWN OF DANVEPkS. 159 

At the close of Mr. Chamberlain's address, the Grand Army 
Post entered the hall. They were greeted with applause, the en- 
tire audience standing. After they had stacked their arms and 
colors in front of the platform, President Putnam extended to them 
an eloquent welcome. 

President Capen of Tufts College spoke in part as follows : 
" I have been wondering what my own connection is witli all 
that has been said. I was not born in Essex County. I was not 
born in Middlesex county. I was born on the other side of the 
Neponset river, beyond the Blue Hills. And though I have a 
Revolutionary ancestry on both sides, so far as I know, I have no 
relationship, no kindred with any of the men who fought at Lex- 
ington and Concord. But it is enouo-h for one to be an American 
citizen to have contact with the day and the events that you cele- 
brate. It is true that for sixteen years now I have had my resi- 
dence in that most historic spot in Massachusetts, in the new 
world. Every morning I may look out of my chamber window be- 
fore I rise from my bed and see that granite shaft rising to greet 
the sun in his coming, which commemorates one of the grandest 
and most historic acts in the history of mankind. And from 
another window I may survey the road over which the British 
soldiers tramped on their way to Lexington, and see some of the 
points where the men of Essex County intercepted them on their 
return at nightfall. No man can live there without breathing that 
atmosphere, without catching its inspiration, without having some 
of its glorious memories stir within him, and without having the 
lessons of this noble past burned into his soul. 

What are some of those lessons ? First, those men, though sub- 
jects of the British crown, had developed an independence which 
was entirely different from Englishmen. They were thoroughly 
American. That is the lesson we want to learn here— to be thor- 
oughly American. We welcome here the oppressed of all nations, 
but we want them to come leaving the old-world associations and 
memories behind them, to come here to figlit under the flag, to ed- 
ucate their children here ; we want them to come here prepared to 
enter into our ideas and institutions, and to help perpetuate them. 
The second lesson is the lesson of patriotism and love of coun- 
try as distinguished from the spirit of commercialism. The spirit 
in our politics that would make business interests of more impor- 
tance than the principles on which this Government was founded 
— the principles of humanity, liberty and justice — that spirit is the 
danger that besets us, was the peril that surrounded us before the 
War of the Rebellion and that compelled these brave men whom I 
see before me belonging to this (Irand Arm}' post to go to the war. 
We want to put into the foreground the spirit of [)ati'iotism that 
was so admirably illustrated by these men of the Revolution." 

Dr. A. P. Putnam read the following poem, which he had 
written expressly for the occasion : 



160 historical society t>roceedings, 

Our Heroes of 1775 and our "Boys in Blue." 



By Rev. A. P. Putnam, D. D. 



One April morn tieet tidings came. 

That, out New England's dear old- town, 
The Red coals, proud and gay, had marched 

To serve by guilty deeds the Crown. 

Our fathers heard the warning cry, 
Seized sword and gun with eager hand, 

Quick left the plough and bench and hearth, 
And flew like lightning o'er the land. 

No storied past, of Greece or Rome, 

Can tell the tale of nobler braves 
Than Danvers men, who '• ran'' that day, 

To Jight; nor feared untimely graves. 

Stern, dauntless Captain Flint, he said;— 
'* Where face the foe, there 1 am found:''' 

Dyed with their blood yon Cambridge heights. 
And, with his own, Stillwater's ground. 

See here the battered steel he flashed, 

The gory belt that girt him fast, 
As there he led his comrades on, 

And gave his precious life at last. 

A gallant hero, too, was Webb, 

Nor deemed his nuptial suit too fine, 

In which to act a S'Oldier's part, 
And pour his gifts at Freedom's shrine; 

But donned his best, and kissed his bride. 
And sped to make the sacrilice, — 

The wedding yarb his glory shroud, 
The fatal ball his pearl of price. 

And Spartan mothers still were here, 
Who counted not the loss or pain, 

But bade their fair and valiant sons, 
" Come with the shield or on it slain." 

Dame Quaker Southwick scorned to share 
With '• men of war " her basket store; 

Yet swift her heart outran her creed, 

And gave them all they asked, and more. 

For when dread hours that peril all, 

Arrive as there at Lexington,— 
Our discords vanish into air. 

And love of country maketh one. 

Oh! Beauty of our Israel, 

Whose bloom so eai-ly suffered blight, 
And ye who from the victor's chase 

Returned to prosper still the Right, — 

No tongue of ours just meed can give, 
Nor granite shaft that art can raise; 

The Nation is your monument, 

And Liberty shall sing your praise. 

Say, did ye bend from heaven and see 

The faith that armed our "boys in blue," 

Who, when Rebellion struck the flag. 
And storm and darkness hid the view, 



TOWN OF DANVERS. 161 

Sprang to their feet and rushed to save 

The starry Union of their sires, 
Till impious and colossal wrongs 

Went down amidst consuming fires: 

Till smoke and cloud had cleared away, 
And stilled was cannon's thunderous roar, 

While high the l)anner of our joy 
In splendid triumph waved once more? 

The wine press of our woe they trod, 

In winter cold and summer heat; 
The broad expanse, the mountain pass, 

They tracked with sore, but patient feet. 

The weary toil, the sleepless watch. 

The midnight damp, the fevered brain, 
The furious charge, the awful strife, 

And shot and sabre's quivering pain; 

Torn limbs whose comfort was the sod, 

Sad hearts that pined in dungeons drear, 
And crowded wards that dreamed of home, 

N"or saw its pitying angels near:— 

Here, too, the stripes that healed oiir hurt, 
The Rock from which was hewn the State ; 

And here, as there, forever shine 
The names that now we celebrate. 

God give us grace to know full well. 

Who sowed the seed that we might reap; 
And, while eternal harvests grow, 

Let Memory her jewels keep. 

Note.— The above abstract of the'proceerlings 20 Apr., 1891, is taken from a more lengthy 
account in the Apr. , 1891, issue of the Salem Press Historical and Genealogical Record. 



The Old Training Field. 

The piece of land at the Centre known as the common or the 
training field is inseparably connected with the military history of 
Danvers, for according to the bequest of Nathaniel Ingersoll, it is 
" for a training place for ever.'' Last year, 1894, on June 30, the 
boulder, with its noble inscription was dedicated in the presence of 
many hundreds of people of our own and neighboring towns.* 

Regarding the training field, Upham is more than usually elo- 
quent. In his description of the place and its foimer owner he 
says " it was probably used as a training field at the first settle- 
ment of the village. From the slaughter of Bloody Brook, the 
storming of the Narragansett Fort, and all the early Indian wars ; 
from the Heights of Abraham, Lake George, Lexington, Bunker 
Hill, Brandywine, Pea Ridge, and a hundred other battle fields, a 
lustre is reflected back upon this village parade ground. It is as- 
sociated with all the military traditions of the country, down to 
the late rebellion. Lothrop, Daven})ort, Gardners, Dodges, Ray- 
monds, Putnams, Porters, Hutchinsons, Herricks, Flints, and 
others, who have taught or learned the manual or drill, are names 
inscribed on the rolls of history for deeds of heroism and prowess." 

The illustration made from a photograph by Mr. D. E. Wood- 
ward, of Danvers Centre is remarkably clear. The boulder was 
found in one of the quarries situated in a part of the old town, a 
section which anciently contributed her quota to the training band 
of Danvers, and many of the men whose records are enrolled in 
this volume came from that part of the town. 

Of Nathaniel Ingersoll, the donor of the land it may be said that 
he was an upright, God fearing man. He was the son of Richard 
Ingersoll who was the lessee of the Townsend Bishop farm, now 
better known as the Nurse farm. Richard Ingersoll died when 
Nathaniel was but about eleven years old and the young man went 
to live on the Orchard farm of Gov. Endicott, that he might the 
better learn how to carry on the farm left him by his father. At 
an early age he married Hannah Collins of Lynn and built on a 
spoti»a little in the rear of the parsonage at the Centre. There he 
resided for seventy years. Near by stood the block house where a 
watch was continually kept in the years when Indian raids were 



*Among those present was Genville M. Dodge, a native of Danvers, whose 
gallantry at Pea Ridge and on other fields won him the highest rank. He has 
been a major-general in the army and a member of Congress and bad charge of 
the surveys of the Union Pacific R. R, 



TOWN OF DANVERS. ^ 163 

feared. He commanded the respect of all, and rarely was his 
judgment at fault. At his house were held the parisli and church 
meetings and when the church was organized we find tliat he was 
one of the two deacons. As he had no children to provide for he 
seems to have made no attempt to accumulate property and dur- 
ing his life was always liberal. He gave land for the church in 
which he had a deep interest. He died in 1719 and lies in an 
unmarked grave. 

The cost of the boulder and expenses connected with its prepar- 
ation and erection were met from an appropriation of $125 by the 
town and the subscriptions of a few public spirited citizens. The 
names of the committee having the matter in charge were Alden 
P. White, chairman ; John W. Porter, Charles B. Rice, Charles 
H. Preston and Eben Putnam. 



The Lexington Monument. 

This shaft imposing from its very simplicity is built of hewn 
sienite and was erected according to the tablet on the monument 
on the 60th anniversary, 1835. On the easterly side is a slab of 
white marble with the names of the Danvers men who fell at Lex- 
ington, 19 April, 1775, as follows : 

Samuel Cook, tet. 33 ; Benjamin Daland, set. 25 ; George South- 
wick, ffit. 25 ; Jotham Webb, tut. 22 ; Henry Jacobs, set. 22 ; Eben'r 
Goldthwaite, set. 22 ; Perley Putnam, set. 21. 

Gen. Gideon Foster placed the corner stone and delivered a 
brief address. The Danvers Light Infantry did escort duty. On 
that day nineteen survivors of the Revolutionary soldiers were 
present. For Gen. Foster's account of the battle and organization 
of the Danvers companies, see page 106 et seq. of Hanson's Dan- 
vers.

At tlie annual town meeting of 1895, the town voted to place 
markers over the graves of Revolutionary soldiers and appointed 
a committee to locate such graves. It is hoped that the next annual 
town meeting will appropriate a sum of money to print a list of 
the names of Revolutionary soldiers buried in town and the loca- 
tion of the graves.
